  Le Pere Jules 10 years old France Pays d´Auge Calvados 70 cl 41%

  Item no.: 22227865491-19875

  Ten years in oak transforms Le Père Jules' fresh farmhouse calvados into something else entirely – the power is still there, but now joined by vanilla and spice that only time can give.

  Expert description

  Le Pere Jules 10 Year Old is a French Calvados Pays d'Auge aged ten years in oak casks and bottled at 41%.

  This expression is aged notably longer than the Desfrièches family's 3-year-old calvados, and shows what a decade in cask does to a farm-produced eau-de-vie. The fruit remains central, but is now supported by vanilla and spice from the wood. The Le Père Jules farm in Saint-Désir-de-Lisieux is today run by fourth-generation Guillaume Desfrièches, still using fruit from the family's own 40 hectares of orchards.

  Nose

  Fruity, with a touch of oak, vanilla and a light spiced aroma.

  Medium length and elegant, where spice and apple linger together.

  Le Pere Jules 20 years old France Pays d´Auge Calvados 70 cl 41%

  Item no.: 22227865491-19876

  Twenty years is a long time to wait for a bottle of calvados, but that is exactly what the Le Père Jules farm does with this expression – apples from the 1990s orchards have had two full decades to become something else entirely.

  Expert description

  Le Pere Jules 20 Year Old is a French Calvados Pays d'Auge aged twenty years in oak casks and bottled at 41%.

  This is the oldest standard expression from the Le Père Jules farm, where four generations of the Desfrièches family have distilled calvados from their own orchards in Saint-Désir-de-Lisieux since 1919. After twenty years in oak, the fruit has transformed into something deep and dried, with compote, spice and roasted notes that only come with time.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  Apple compote, dried fruit and a roasted, spiced aroma.

  Palate

  Soft and round, with deep fruit, spice and a light roasted character.

  Finish

  Long and warm, with dried fruit and oak lingering well.

  Expert description

  Le Pere Jules 3 Year Old is a French Calvados Pays d'Auge aged three years in oak casks and bottled at 41%.

  Le Père Jules is the youngest expression from the Le Père Jules farm, where four generations of the Desfrièches family have distilled calvados since 1919. After at least three years in oak, the calvados shows the freshness and liveliness of a young eau-de-vie, while the family's traditional double distillation still gives it depth.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  Fresh apple and a touch of blossom, with a light, green sharpness.

  Palate

  Lively and direct, with fresh apple and a mild spiced note.

  Finish

  Short and fresh, with apple dominating the final impression.
